Sam...you ready yet? I am going to leave in 5, make sure your things are all packed.
Yes Dad. I'm almost done.
Great, I'll meet you in the car.
The father and son duo had just moved in to their new house yesterday. 3500 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and a 'gigantic' kitchen, which was ironic for two single males who knew little of what cooking is. Marcia had died of cancer when Sam was only 2 years old. Damon, who not only was heart-broken from his short-lived marriage with Marcia, but also, at the same time had lost his corporate job as an investment banker at a global investment firm in Kuala Lumpur. As much as he'd like to curse the global recession, he cared very little about it since, apart from the great severance package he had received from the company, his personal savings and various other investments, his wife's life insurance was what made a major difference. He was filthy RICH!
With a young son to look after and not a care in this world, the both moved back to Cape May, his home town in New Jersey.
Damon had not been back home for almost two decades. He left Cape May after both his parents had died of an accident when he was only 12... His uncle, who also was his Godfather, took responsibility of him and brought him to Kuala Lumpur to assist him with his healthcare business.
....
Sam was now running down the stairs to meet up with his Dad, when there was a silent but sharp sound that came from behind him. It was as if someone had called out to him, they knew who he was.
Forcefully ignoring that sound, he ran out of the house to meet his Dad. They left for on father-son day out to Six-Flags.
....
They were back home the next evening. After dinner, both of them were tired and decided to go to bed early.
02:31 a.m....Damon wakes up from his sleep after hearing noises coming out from Sam's room. It was a cry of fear and pain. Damon quickly jumps out of his bed to run to his son's room.
Sam's face was pale with fear...Cold sweat all running through his forehead. He sat-up partially on his bed to see his Dad's face. The lights weren't turning on. His Dad quietly walks towards Sam while whispering "It's Ok buddy, I am here, it was just a nightmare, you're gonna be alright..."
Once he goes to hug Sam on his bed, Sam whispers to his Dad's ears -
"There is someone under the bed."
Damon give his son a blank look, but does not hesitate to check what's there.
He kneels on the ground and looks under the bed to see if there really is 'someone' there..
He sees Sam.
"Ssssshhhhh Dad, there's someone sitting on my bed and I don't know who it is..."
Yes Dad. I'm almost done.
